2021 Bronco sport tire upgrade advice

[RWT]

Thanks for all the advice, dealer is recommending Goodyear wrangler fortitude ht 17inch, says comparable to the Goodrich

I had the GoodYear Fortitude HT from the factory on on a previously owned truck. They were not good tires. I replaced them with Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus, (not to be confused with the Pirelli Scorpion ATR). I would not buy or recommend the GY Wrangler Fortitude HT.

This topic always opens a can of worms.
Most of the name brand tires are pretty good these days. You really need to know what type of driving your doing and conditions to pick what will be best for you. On the other side of things you can also pick tires for their looks even if you never plan to go off road and just want a "rugged" look.
You will get all kinds of opinions here that you'll need to decipher.

My question about tires is will 245/65r17’s rub on a BB with no lift even the suspension is stressed? It send line they don’t run lock to lock but what about lock + suspension stress?

Many members here have confirmed this to be the case with a variety of different brands. I believe that you could buy just about any tire of that size from any manufacturer with a high degree of confidence they won't rub.

Thank you Mark. I always appreciate your insight!

If you do not off road. Biggest tire size is 245/70/17 on stock wheels otherwise stick to 245/65/17.

Is your BB lifted in this pic? Are you seeing any rubbing when turning at full lock?

No lift and I haven’t experienced any rubbing what so ever.
